I wouldn't call myself a survivalist...not really. I'm sure I will never find a home in some cave, and stock up on guns and freeze dried food. I actually hate guns! On the other hand I believe we are living in the end times. In the end times the Bible says there will be an increase in wars, natural disasters, and food shortages. I believe it's wise to know how to grow your own food, and store that food. I don't want to live so hidden away I have no contact with people. On the other hand we have no land, and no place to store food. Land is more important to me then it ever has been. Some times I think people would consider me crazy for even thinking there could be food shortages. On the one hand I don't want to appear as crazy as the people who stand on street corners with big signs reading repent...the end of the world is at hand. I don't know if the world is ending ...I don't know if disaster will strike soon. Maybe it will and maybe it won't. I kind of want to hedge my bets. I want a big farm house with a large garden. Juergen wants that too...just so it's still in the city. I can not afford what I want in the city. I'm willing to drive. He isn't there yet. And it’s not like I want my own arch and the rest of you can just die. I’m more likely to share everything I have to save as many as I can. But if I have nothing I’m going to need someone to save me…and my large family. Ok, I just confirmed what you all guessed awhile ago…she is crazy! The women is crazy! Or maybe I’m just living up to the girl scout motto…be prepared. I do not want to check out and hide out…I just want to learn to grow my own food.
Why not start with an IBC and cut a hole for the door? You could build closed laying boxes into it, and something for the chickens to roost on. Put some straw or saw dust on the floor. You could add vents to the side for air. If it sat inside a chicken run that you can walk into, the chickens could be safe, dry and happy. I have an extra IBC. Maybe this could be my chicken house? I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.
